Also in India, you might see a man apparently shaking his head at another and assume that he is disagreeing. But

29、 in many parts of India a rotating movement of the head is a gesture that signifies agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to signify “yes“ pa nod indicates “no“. Arabs are known for their sumptu

30、ous hospitality. At a meal in countries on the Arabian Peninsula, you will find that any drinking vessel is repeatedly refilled as soon as you drain it.

36、a writer in the 1700s, was the first person to see the importance of the division of labor and to explain part of its advantages. He gives as an example the process by which pins were made in England. “One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth g

37、rinds it at the top to prepare it to receive the head. To make the head requires two or three distinct operations. To put it on is a separate operation, to polish the pins is another. And the important business of making pins is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations, which

38、 in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them,“Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4 800 pins a person. But if all of them had worked separately and independently witho

39、ut division of labor, they certainly could not turn out any pin, each of them would have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even oneThere can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but he also took it for

40、 granted that division of labor is in itself responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labor adds nothing new: it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.（分数：10

After all,40 years ago electronic digital computers didnt exist; today microchips as tiny as a babys fingernail are making all sorts of tasks fas

46、ter and easier. Surely the future holds still more miracles.Some of the computer experiments now going on inspire exciting visions of the future. For example, scientists are working on devices that can electronically perform some sight and hearing functions, which could make life easier for the blin

47、d and deaf. Theyre also working on artificial arms and legs that respond to the electric impulses produced by the human brain. Scientists hope that some day a person whos lost an arm could still have near-normal brain control over an artificial arm.Video games, computerized special effects in movies

48、, and real-life training machines now being used by the US Army are causing some people to predict new educational uses for computers. Computers could some day be used to simulate travel to other planets, to explore the ocean floor, or to look inside an atom.Experiments with electronic banking and shopping inspire predictions that these activities will soon be done from home computer terminals. Cars, too, might be equipped with computers to help drivers find their way around (Honda has one in an experimental car) or to communicate with home and office computers. Many people,
